The Ebac Foundation: Protecting British Manufacturing Forever

Ebac Limited is now part of the Ebac Foundation. All profits are reinvested back into the company to generate growth and more jobs, and into to the community to sponsor training, education and sport.

About the Ebac Foundation

John Elliott MBE DL firmly believes that the future success of every company relies on the people and the community that it is part of.

Understanding customers needs and developing innovative quality products are key to success, but it’s the people who make this happen and communities in which they live that help everyone fulfill their potential.

A successful business attracts the attention of potential buyers, or risks being floated on the stock exchange. But John Elliott has never considered this path.

John maintains that although he owns the shares , the business is not his to sell and this is why the shares were are placed in a foundation.

The Ebac Foundation was set up in 2012. The principles of the foundation were signed by the trustees - John Elliott MBE DL, Paul Elliott and Cliff Laverick and presented to staff, dignitaries and all Ebac employees at a ceremony in the Ebac manufacturing facility.

Lord Digby Jones officiated the ceremony

The core principles of the Ebac Foundation:

Growth

The business should focus on trading and development for the future

Investment

Reinvest profits into the business

People

Provide opportunities for employees to fulfill their potential

Community

Being part of and supporting the wider community

A long term view

There are no private or institutional shareholders, which means Ebac does not have to pay dividends and the shares cannot be sold.

This allows the business to take a long term view and invest any profits into the development of the business.
